Great house to spend your holiday

+++Very nice house in a really quiet area, there is zero noise, you are at the edge of the forest. The village is strangely enough very well equipped in restaurants and other shops. A great spot to visit the entire island if you have a car, however if you're looking for busier lifestyle and you prefer being close to Funchal, this might not be the best choice for you, although it's only 40mins away. The house is well-equipped, you have a huge BBQ and a terrace as well. The self check-in is awesome and easy. We would highly recommend! ---The only negative feedback concerns the bed which is horribly uncomfortable and tiny for two (we are not giants).

Peaceful and comfortable stay

Peaceful location and walking distance from an assortment of coffee shops, restaurant and Farmers Market on Sundays. Great location to relax and explore the island and away from the busy Funchal area. Outdoor space is great for relaxing and bbq meals. Local grocery store is well stocked, and you will find larger grocery stores (Continente or Pingo Doce) easily on your travels throughout the island.

What a comfortable house for holidays!

Filipe is a capricious host, good in contact and careful with the house. The handing over of the keys was easy. The house is easy to find and to access by car. It is well located in a beautiful village, very calm and peaceful in the midst of gardens and beside the forest and the levadas. There is no direct view to the ocean (only around the corner ;-) The freeway is near to visit other places, and you don't hear the traffic. It's a small rustic house with everything you need. The kitchen is well equipped with dishes, good electrical devices, etc. The living room is comfortable with TV and fireplace where we felt homely in the evenings. We enjoyed the large place behind to spend rainy and cold days and for barbeque. What we did not appreciate: the beds. They are too short for 1,90m people, and the mattresses are hard. But anyway, we enjoyed our time here and we can recommend this place! Obrigado Filipe! Até a próxima 😊

Absolutely perfect house and location for Western Madeira

The house was perfectly equipped as we have never seen in Portugal before: It is only designed for 4 people but you get the feeling that many more are welcome when you see the space, the well equipped kitchen, the garden house, etc. There were even 2 bathrooms - one inside, one outside. We did not see our host Filipe in person, because there was an uncomplicated but safe self check-in and check-out. But we could easily call him when we had a question. He is a very generous host and trusts his guests. The heating is sufficient for warm sleeping rooms, but not for the living area where you can use a fireplace which we did not use. There are plenty of opportunities where to eat and rest - a regular table, a garden house, a conservatory or outside in the garden below a tree, or the balcony in front of the sleeping room. The garden is not maintained, but we enjoyed picking up some lemons. All comfort in the house is very functional and perfectly organized. The location is ideal: Very quiet, but with an easy connection to all places of Western Madeira within half an hour by car. And you can even see the see - from the balcony at the sleeping room. If we come again to Madeira, we would definitely stay in this house.

Ruhe und Natur

Direkt an der Levada, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Restaurants zu Fuß erreichbar. Das Dorf liegt etwas höher und ist im Februar etwas kühler. Im Haus gibt es einen gemütlichen Holzofen, eine Klimaanlage die heizen kann und eine Elektroheizung. Damit hat man es warm. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet und die Betten sind gemütlich.

Alles ok, für uns zwei schön geräumig, für vier Erwachsene wärs wahrscheinlich etwas kuschelig. Schönes Nebengebäude zum Grillen und feiern. Kommunikation rein online hat funktioniert, hätte etwas mehr Holz für den Kaminofen da sein können. Schöne Wanderungen direkt von der Unterkunft möglich, gute Restaurants mit tollem Poncha in Fußnähe.

Super logement, calme et très bien placé

On a été agréable surpris par le confort et la propreté du logement à notre arrivée. Le logement est remarquablement bien placé à Madère pour faire des excursions sur l'île. Le logement est sur les hauteurs dans un environnement calme to.d'eucalyptus en suivant le lqveda et à dix minutes en voiture d'une belle plage en sable à Calheta. Les propriétaires ont toujours été disponibles. Nous conseillons fortement cette location.

Schöne Unterkunft

Es war alles ok. Der Kontakt mit dem Gastgeber lief prima ab. Das Haus war sauber und sehr gut ausgestattet. Es war etwas kühl und klamm, da wahrscheinlich in der Woche davor niemand da war. Mithilfe des guten Holz-Ofens haben wir das schnell in den Griff bekommen. Holz kann man im Dorfladen günstig für 3,- kaufen. Es war auch etwas im Haus. Die Lage im oberen Teil des Dorfes ist gut; leider kein Meerblick oder wenigstens etwas mehr Grün. Der Garten ist nicht bewirtschaftet. Die Betten sind wie meist in Ferienhäusern ziemlich hart gefedert.

Langzeiturlaub Prazeres

Bei Ankunft war das Haus ausgekühlt und auch ziemlich feucht. Das Wetter war anfangs sicherlich auch nicht optimal (starker Regen). Entsprechend haben wir längere Zeit gebraucht, um das Haus mit dem Kaminofen einigermaßen durchzuwärmen und zu trocknen (täglicher Holzkauf ca. 5,-€). Den Wintergarten haben wir lediglich als Abstellplatz genutzt, stellenweise hatte es durchgeregnet, der Grill war für uns nicht nutzbar, da er vom Vorgänger /Endreinigung nicht gesäubert war. Anmietung im Winter eher fragwürdig. Die Insel und Lage des Hauses haben uns aber schon gefallen.

Fully equipped house in Prazeres

Our experience finding the house was somewhat difficult. The owner had sent a detailed map and directions to his place as an attachment. Unfortunately it was titled “itinerary” which was confusing. It should have been labelled “directions” which would have helped us locate the house. It also contained useful information on the location of restaurants and a grocery store. We also had an issue with a significant amount of mildew in the living room area of the house. Since the house had been closed for some time prior to our arrival, the house was not aired out making the mildew worse. The owner should have taken the time to air it out in advance so that it would be livable. We used the back kitchen space as an alternative. On the positive side, the kitchen is well equipped and the location is good. We were able to walk to restaurants nearby and to hike on the levadas that were very close. The bus stop was also very handy.
